SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
This Symbol means:
ATTENTION! BE ALERT ! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED !
The Safety Alert Symbol identifies important safety messages
on the Wallenstein product and in the manual.
When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of
personal injury or death! Follow the instructions in the safety
message.
SIGNAL WORDS
The signal words DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION determine
the seriousness level of the warning messages in this manual.
The appropriate signal word for each message in this manual
has been selected using the following guidelines:
DANGER –
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be
limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that
are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
IMPORTANT – To avoid confusing equipment protection with
personal safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates
a situation that if not avoided, could result in damage to the
machine.

2�2 EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing equipment. However,
every year many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful
approach to handling equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions
in this section. To avoid personal injury or death, study the following precautions and insist those working with you,
or for you to follow them.
1. In order to provide a better view, certain photographs
or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly
with a safety shield removed. However, equipment
should never be used in this condition. Keep all
shields in place. If shield removal becomes necessary
for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
2. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is
not readable or is missing. Location of such safety
signs is indicated in this manual.
3. Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can
hinder alertness or coordination while using this
equipment. Consult your doctor about using this
machine while taking prescription medications.
4� Under no circumstances should young children
be allowed to work with this equipment� Do not
allow persons to use or assemble this unit until
they have read this manual and have developed a
thorough understandingof the safetyprecautions
and of how it works� Review the safety instructions
with all users annually.
5. This equipment is dangerous to children and persons
unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be
a responsible, properly trained and physically able
person familiar with machinery and trained in this
equipment's operations. If the elderly are assisting
with work, their physical limitations need to be
recognized and accommodated.
6. Operate the machine only with
a tractor equipped with an
approved Roll-Over-Protective-
Structure (ROPS). Always wear
your seat belt when operating the
tractor. Serious injury or even

the tractor - - particularly during
a turnover when the operator
could be pinned under the ROPS
or the tractor.
7. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If
its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question
- DON'T TRY IT�
8. Do not modify the equipment in any way.

equipment�
• Understands and knows how to perform the
Safe Condition procedure:

NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
HEARING LOSS!
4. Power equipment with or without
equipment attached can often be
noisy enough to cause permanent,
partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear
hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in
the Operator's position exceeds 80db. Noise over
85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing
loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator
over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss.
Note:Hearing loss from loud noise (from tractors, chain
saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear)
is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural
recovery.
5. Clear working area of stones, branches or hidden
obstacles that might be hooked or snagged, causing
injury or damage.

2�5 MAINTENANCE SAFETY
1. Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor
maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
2. Follow good shop practices.
• Keep service area
clean and dry.
• Be sure electrical
outlets and tools are
properly grounded.
• Use adequate light for
the job at hand.
3. Make sure there is plenty
of ventilation. Never
operate the tractor in
a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
4. Place the backhoe in "Safe Condition":

a skid steer or tractor, be aware of objects around
you and any by standers. Never exit a tractor or skid
steer with the bucket raised.
2�10 TRANSPORT SAFETY
1. Comply with state and local laws governing safety
and transporting of machinery on public roads.

required.
4. Do not load the spreader unless it is hitched to the
tractor and do not unhitch a loaded spreader from
the tractor leaving it supported by only the jack.
5. Be sure there is plenty of ventilation in the loading
area, gases produced by decomposing manure
in storage can be fatal.

drivelines, side shafts, pulleys and sprockets are
hazardous if not shielded. Becoming entangled
in unshielded rotating shafts may result in am-
putations, spinal injuries and death.
7. Always remove loose manure or soil from tires
and other parts of the equipment before enter-
ing the roadway. Manure or wet soil left on the
roadway by your tractor and spreader is a hazard
to other vehicles.
8. Do not allow anyone within 20 ft (6 m) of the
spreader during operation. Objects thrown from
the rear of the spreader could cause injury.
9. Do not use a tractor unless it is equipped with
a ROPS.
10. Never operate any controls from the ground.
Remain seated to while operating machinery.
It is extremely dangerous to attempt to make
adjustments around the spreader when it is
operating. Spinning beater paddles, and other
moving parts can cause injury or death.
11. Do not attempt to scape or clean the inside of the
spreader when the PTO is engaged. Falling into
spinning paddle of the spreader could be fatal.
